Xie Yao’s face was hot, and he didn’t know if it was because he was kissed or because of Jiang Song’s words “I love you”.

He was held in the other’s arms, and the sound of their heartbeats beneath their chests resonated with each other. Jiang Song rubbed Xie Yao’s head and reached out to close the snow-drifting window.

The cold air was instantly shut out, and Jiang Song’s face was filled with a satisfied expression. He lowered his head and pinched Xie Yao’s face, who was in a daze.

“Back to reality, what’s wrong? Dazed by the kiss?”

The last few words almost slipped out from between his teeth, with a hint of ambiguity in his tone.

Xie Yao’s ears were hot, and he awkwardly pursed his lips, but as soon as their lips touched, he let out a soft hiss because of the slight stinging sensation.

Jiang Song’s warm fingertips immediately brushed over the area, and he lowered his head and said, “Sorry, I think I bit too hard just now and made a small cut.”

Xie Yao’s lips were pressed down slightly, and he unconsciously licked the split, but unexpectedly, he touched Jiang Song’s fingertips. Xie Yao was stunned, and then tightly closed his lips, blushing.

Jiang Song retracted his hand that was touched and lightly rubbed his fingertips, feeling a tingling sensation in the tip of his heart.

At this point, Xie Yao was so embarrassed that he wanted to bury his head in Jiang Song’s chest. Jiang Song smiled and lightly brushed off this small incident, “The snow won’t stop for a while, so you should go live now. Tomorrow, after watching the game, I’ll take you out to play.”

Xie Yao nodded vigorously, hesitated, and then pinched the hand that was hanging by Jiang Song’s side before quickly walking away.

Xie Yao thought he could calm down a bit by sitting down, but the barrage in the live broadcast room told him otherwise: there was no chance!

In theory, he had been away from the live broadcast room for more than half an hour, and the barrage should not have been too many, but at this moment, it was rolling unusually fast. He hadn’t finished reading the last message, and already a dozen more had popped up, and the speed was astonishing.

Xie Yao was at a loss.

A few minutes ago:

: Wow, this hotel where Yao Yao is staying is pretty nice. It looks expensive.

: If I’m not mistaken, this is the hotel next to the KPL stadium. It’s crazy expensive. I heard that during special times, it can cost over 5,000 yuan per night!

: Oh my god, that’s so expensive! Why is this kid so wasteful? / Angry mom.jpg

…

: I hear Yao Yao talking! He seems to be asking why it hasn’t snowed yet, oh my god!

: Is it his sister-in-law? Sister-in-law, speak louder, I can’t hear you!

: Just now, even though his sister-in-law only showed half her body for a second on camera, you can tell she has a manly figure, haha!

: Darn it! Yao Yao has been asking about the snow with such a sweet voice that even a mom’s heart would melt. A City, please make it snow for me!

: Louder, louder! Did you not eat yet? I can’t hear his sister-in-law’s voice, but now even Yao Yao’s voice is getting quieter!

…

: …Oh my god.

: Oh my god?

: Oh my god! Did I hear that right?

: Why did Yao Yao suddenly go silent?

: Damn it, is my ear broken? Did I just hear Yao Yao call out… Jiang Song? / Sighing while smoking?

: You’re not alone…

: I heard it too!

: So did I…

The rumor-mongering fans: Oh my god, I think it’s actually true!

: They’re staying in the same hotel room?!

…

The barrage of comments fermented for more than ten minutes, with no sign of improvement. The names of Jiang Song and Xie Yao appeared together in the comments, coupled together, inseparable, and accompanied by countless “oh my god”. The screen was filled with a strong sense of visual impact.

Before emotions could settle down, they suddenly encountered a crisis. Xie Yao’s face turned red and then immediately pale.

He couldn’t care less about whether he had broadcasted enough time tonight, hastily saying, “Sorry, I suddenly feel a bit uncomfortable. Let’s end the broadcast here today.” Then he hastily closed the live stream.

Fans who were forced to turn off their microphones: This makes you even more suspicious!

Jiang Song saw his sudden change of complexion, quickly walked over, hugged Xie Yao, patted his back gently, and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly turn so pale?”

Even the live streaming page on the computer was closed. Jiang Song didn’t know what had happened and was a bit worried.

Xie Yao raised his head from Jiang Song’s embrace, took out his phone and scrolled through Weibo. He only relaxed when he didn’t see any related topics trending.

“Sorry.” Xie Yao put his hand on Jiang Song’s arm, feeling a bit remorseful and nervous.

“When it started snowing, I forgot I was still live streaming and accidentally said your name. The people in the chatroom heard it, and they…” Xie Yao paused before continuing, “They suspect we’re together.”

Jiang Song’s gentle patting on Xie Yao’s back stopped for a moment, and his expression became a bit complicated. “You don’t want them to know?” he asked.

Xie Yao immediately shook his head. “No, I don’t!”

He subconsciously pursed his lips, but when the split on his lips, which was caused by Jiang Song’s bite, touched slightly, it stung. Xie Yao was very nervous and said, “I’m afraid that if too many people know about us, it will affect you.”

When Jiang Song heard this, he immediately felt relieved and then laughed and cried, “What kind of impact would it have on me?”

Xie Yao was a little embarrassed and said, “You are a public figure after all. This exposure could affect your public image, right?”

“It won’t,” Jiang Song patted Xie Yao’s waist and gritted his teeth, “This won’t have any impact on me. Don’t worry about it. I’ve retired now and run my own business. My clients won’t care about the private lives of the company’s owners.”

“You scared me. I thought you didn’t want to give me a ‘label’!” Xie Yao opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say. He understood that he had been foolish, so he buried his head in Jiang Song’s arms and murmured, “I want to.”

Jiang Song pulled him out and hugged him, standing in front of the bed, “It’s almost eleven o’clock. We have to wake up early tomorrow to go to the competition site. Shouldn’t we sleep early tonight?”

Xie Yao nodded, but his gaze was fixed on the heavy snow outside the window, unable to shift his eyes.

Although his room also had a window, it was not a floor-to-ceiling window but a small frame that framed a small piece of the sky. It did not provide the same stunning view of the snowfall.

Jiang Song noticed this and squinted his eyes, “Do you want to watch the snow? Why don’t we just sleep here?”

Xie Yao clenched his fists, widened his eyes, and was shocked by Jiang Song’s straightforwardness. “If I sleep here, where will you sleep?”

Jiang Song sighed and let go of him, “I’ll go to the next room to sleep.”

Xie Yao looked at Jiang Song, his fingers unconsciously clenched his sleeves, his whole person feeling a bit hot and confused.

Jiang Song: “I’m a bit impatient, I like you, and I want to be close to you. But Yao Yao, if you ever feel uncomfortable, you must tell me, and I will back off.”

Just like now, with a safe distance of half a meter between them.

“Okay,” Xie Yao nodded his head.

Jiang Song’s expression softened: “It’s getting late, so you can rest in this room. I’ll go over there.”

“Good night, Yao Yao.”

Jiang Song walked to the door, and Xie Yao ran over and hugged him.

“Good night, big brother.”

At the KPL finals, the sound of people cheering was deafening. Esports fans holding light sticks filled the audience, with Sus and YQ sitting on opposite sides. In the commentary booth, two professional commentators stood in suits, including Jiang Song.

The screams almost overturned the entire stadium.

“SUS, come on! Win the championship!”

“YQ, go for it! Crush SUS!”

“Praise! Praise!”

…

As the guest of honor for the final performance, Xie Yao sat with the other anchors in the guest seating area, looking up at the battle between the two sides.

“Now the score is tied 2v2 in the final game, and neither side has an advantage over the other. Overall, the situation is very tense,” the commentator on the left exclaimed.

Jiang Song took the lead and said, “That’s right, both sides are playing jungle carries this game, with similar strategies and playstyles. The deciding point should be on the two jungle players.”

The commentator on the right chuckled, “I agree. Who do you think has a better chance of winning, praise?”

Jiang Song replied, “It’s SUS, although YQ’s newly emerged jungle player has strong talent, in terms of assassination, he may not have higher talent than Ju Ye. However, Ci Sha has richer competitive experience than Ju Ye , and currently, Ju Ye is slightly inferior to Ci Sha. Of course, this may not be the case next season.”

Both commentators chuckled and said, “Right, right.”

The situation on the field changed rapidly, and both sides were cautious about the deciding point. The game was played conservatively, and there was no team fight in the first fifteen minutes.

But in the next moment, with the decision made by SUS’s leader, the conservative playstyle suddenly changed, and the attack immediately became fierce.

In the end, YQ lost because of their lack of experience. After being ambushed by sus in a team fight, sus gradually took the advantage, and with the help of the Dragon Buff, they pushed down YQ’s crystal in the 23rd minute.

“Wow! SUS is awesome! We are the champions!”

“Ci Sha is awesome! MVP!”

“SUS!”

“We won!”

The whole venue was boiling with excitement!

Xie Yao had liked SUS for a long time, and she witnessed their championship process for the first time when she watched the game. She stood up excitedly and shouted, “SUS is the champion!”

The SUS team was invited to the host’s side, and the host congratulated them on their victory and presented them with the championship trophy.

“So, congratulations to our SUS for winning the championship! The MVP of tonight is – Ci Sha! Congratulations to our new Jungle King!”

The big screen played the moment when Ci Sha made a kill in the game, which was exciting.

After the speech, the host announced the schedule, “The champions have been crowned, and the SUS team can rest in the back. There is a sponsored exhibition match waiting for them tonight!”

Ci Sha bowed with the rest of the SUS members and left the stage. Jiang Song and the two commentators said goodbye and headed to the backstage area.

“Brother Jiang!”

Yi Bai rushed towards Jiang Song with the trophy in his hands, tears and snot streaming down his face. Jiang Song was so annoyed with him that he almost punched him.

“Whimper, it wasn’t easy at all. We won the championship, Brother! You don’t know how many people have been sarcastic and cursing us since you retired, saying that we couldn’t even make it through the preliminaries. Those bastards. Grandpa has proven them wrong tonight. SUS is forever the best!”

“We’re the champions!”

Xie Yao arrived at the backstage area with the help of the staff and saw Yi Bai crying and trying to get close to Jiang Song. The other SUS members stopped him, afraid that Jiang Song would lose his temper and hit someone.

At this point, they couldn’t afford to get beaten up. They still had a performance match later that night!

Smiling, who was the first to notice Xie Yao, exclaimed, “It’s sister-in-law!” The other members immediately turned their laser-like gazes towards Xie Yao.

“Sister-in-law!”

“Sister-in-law is here!”

They called out to her one after another, making Xie Yao blush.

Jiang Song glanced at them and walked over to hold Xie Yao’s hand. “Don’t mind them. They just won the championship and are a bit crazy now.”

The news of the former SUS captain and a certain anchor suspected of cohabitation had been on the entertainment news chart for a whole day. There were not only SUS members in the backstage area, but also staff and three other anchors who were participating in the performance match.

But no one dared to say much in front of Jiang Song.

“Please go easy on us in the performance match tonight, sister-in-law.”

Smiling teased Xie Yao.

SUS was arranged to be one team in the performance match, and Jiang Song and four other anchors were another team. They were only going to play three rounds.

Jiang Song slapped Smiling on the shoulder and said, “Get lost.”

Xie Yao felt a bit embarrassed and shy, but she smiled and listened to their banter.

They had dinner together and then prepared for the performance match that night.
